Sinopsis
This innovative edited collection provides a
comprehensive analysis of modern
secularism across Asia which contests and expands
prevailing accounts that have predominantly
focused on the West. Its authors highlight that
terms like 8216seular8217 8216seularization
8217 and 8216seularism8217do not carry the
same meanings in the very different historical
and cultural contexts of Asia. Critiquing Charles
Taylor8217saccount of secularism, this book
examines what travelled and what not
in 8216thimperial encounter8217between
Western secular modernity and other traditions
outside of the West. Throughout the book, state
responses to religion at different points in
Chinese and South-East Asian history are
carefully considered, providing a nuanced and
in- depth understanding of post-secular
strategies and relations in these areas.
Particular attention is given to Catholicism in
the Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore, and
Hinduism and Chinese religion in Malaysia,
Singapore, and India. This theoretically engaged
work will appeal to students and scholars of
Asian studies, anthropology, religious studies,
history, sociology, and political science.
